Dublin Fixer-Uppers: 5 of the best property projects to get stuck into

This week's fixer-uppers could have just the thing if you are looking for a property project to sink your teeth into for the next few weeks.

We have a range of houses, from those needing a full refurbishment to others just in need of some minor touch-ups - in all cases though, you might just get yourself a bargain...

50 Ramillies Road, Ballyfermot
€260,000
2-bed semi-detached house

This neat little semi in Ballyfermot looks ideal for a first-time buyer, located a stone's throw from Markievicz Park and within walking distance of all of the shopping and amenities that the area has to offer.

The house consists of two reception rooms with a kitchen and bathroom to the rear. Upstairs you will find the two bedrooms and an additional shower room, while outside there's a lawn and off-street parking at the front, a concrete back garden to the rear and a block-built storage shed.

134 Mangerton Road, Drimnagh
€320,000
3-bed end-of-terrace house

A full renovation job is required here, in this end-terrace in a quiet, residential area of Drimnagh, between the Long Mile Road and Naas Road.

While the house isn't currently in great shape, it's an ideal candidate to treat as a blank canvas and start from scratch to develop the property how you want it. Selling points include the generous gardens to the front, side and rear of the house, and the proximity to Blackhorse Luas stop, local amenities and schools.

11 Shanglas Road, Beaumont
€349,950
3-bed end-of-terrace house

Again, potential is the key here - while the interior of this property certainly needs plenty doing to it to bring it up to modern standards, it's a spacious house with well-proportioned rooms and some period features like the fireplace and chimney breast in the kitchen and the walk-in larder.

Best of all is the huge back garden - mature and fairly well-kept, it would be ideal for families, while also offering the potential for a rear extension to make the most out of the house itself.

30 Kelly's Bay Shore, Skerries
€395,000
2-bed semi-detached house

In contrast to the other houses we've seen, it appears that only minor cosmetic changes are required here - some redecorating, maybe a new bathroom and some attention paid to the front garden.

There may only be two bedrooms but this is an impressive, spacious home. The downstairs reception rooms are connected by French doors for a choice between an open-plan feel or a cosy front room. Arguably the star of the show is the kitchen/diner, extended to the rear of the house and opening out onto the large back garden.

17 Whitehall Close, Terenure
€495,000
3-bed semi-detached house

Finally to the Perrystown area of Terenure, where you'll find this family home at the end of a residential cul-de-sac. The house is well located for access to the M50, which is just a few minutes away, while there are good schools nearby like Templeogue College and Terenure College.

A classic three-bed semi, the house has a bright, open feel with French doors again linking the living room and dining room. As well as three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, there's also a garage and small gardens to the front and rear.
